Re: Two stuck flywheels

I don’t think you would be having these problems if you were using the OMC puller, most other pullers aren’t really up to the task. The OMC puller has the heavy/hardened disk that won’t bend/deflect. The puller screw has very fine threads with a centering point. The hardened screws/washers won’t break or thread in too far and demolish your coils. The puller disk also has a hardened rod that fits into it so the flywheel/puller can be held easily and won’t try to rotate while you are tightening the center screw. You can use an impact gun on the OMC puller screw which helps shock stubborn flywheels off, I wouldn’t use it on other pullers though.
Try to avoid the pry bar/hammer method whenever possible. Maybe there is a member in your area who will loan you his OMC puller, or let you use it at his house.
